This is not a "settlement". This is pay out to avoid rioting and violence.
How much more taxpayer money are we going to allow Benjamin Crump to steal from us? He needs to be taken care of.

Largest settlement in US history over police misconduct reached: $45M in Randy Cox case (msn.com)

A $45 million dollar settlement has been reached in the civil police brutality case involving Richard Cox a Black man now paralyzed from the chest down following an arrest by police officers in New Haven, Connecticut, nearly a year ago.The case represents the largest settlement involving police misconduct in U.S. history and comes two years after the $27 million settlement involving the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers on Memorial Day weekend in 2020.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, the lead attorney in both cases, said Floyd's case was previously the largest settlement involving police brutality. Both cases, he said, were preventable."My endeavor has been very consistent. When we set the record with George Floyd with $27 million, I was very clear that what we're trying to do is make it financially unsustainable for the police to continue to violate our constitutional rights and brutalize us unnecessarily and unjustifiably," said Crump, in his first interview following the settlement release.Five New Haven police officers were charged after Cox was left partially paralyzed while being transported in a police van.Cox had been detained on a weapons charge when he was being driven to a police station on June 19, 2022. The van's driver slammed on the brakes at an intersection, allegedly to avoid a collision, causing Cox to fly headfirst into a metal partition inside the van.
